A new study reveals the biological secret to the Zika virus's infectious success: Zika uses host cells' own "self-care" ...

Ph.D., revealed mechanisms on a receptor called Angiotensin II type 1, or AT1R, that allow hormones and drugs to transfer information on the cell surface. Unraveling these communication pathways ...

KRAS mutations are among the most common genetic alterations in cancer and are considered particularly difficult to treat.

The research team demonstrated that innate immune cells called Natural Killer (NK) cells that express CD8a on the cell surface (a receptor usually associated with T cells) are reactive to human ...

Sugars interact with the cell surface through sugar-binding proteins called lectins. These interactions play a fundamental role in many of the cell's biological processes. One important function ...

The breakthrough, described today in Nature, revolves around engineered receptors on the surface of cells that can sense molecules in the surrounding environment and, in response, change the ...
